Command: subscribe/unsubscribe - staying in contact with Nemesis
Description:
Nemesis offers some mailing lists. These are our lists:
nemesis@nemesis.de for all interested in Nemesis.
events@nemesis.de for planning RL events like the VCFe.
wizards@nemesis.de for Nemesis' wizards only.
Before you can 'subscribe' (and hopefully not 'unsubscribe' later)
to the lists in every post office in Nemesis (also in the Nemesis
Information Centre east of the church or in the Adventurers' Guild),
you have to validate your email address stored in Nemesis - see
also 'help mailaddr'. This is our "Double opt-in" (DOI) - see
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opt-in_email .
'subscribe' without argument shows the available mailing lists
and which you have subscribed to with which email address.
Wizards don't have to go to a post office, the Information Centre
or the Adventurers' Guild. They can subscribe everywhere.
Syntax:
subscribe
subscribe <list>
unsubscribe <list>
Examples:
subscribe nemesis
subscribe nemesis@nemesis.de
unsubscribe nemesis
unsubscribe nemesis@nemesis.de
Note:
When subscribing (or unsubscribing) to the mailing list you can
name the list by its complete mail address, e.g. "nemesis@nemesis.de"
or by the local part "nemesis".
If you change your address stored in Nemesis via 'set mailaddr'
(and validate it), the mail addresses subscribed to mailing lists
are NOT changed. Simply type 'subscribe <list>' to re-subscribe
with your new mail address.
No, this is not a bug! It IS a feature: There are lots of people
who prefer to subscribe to mailing lists with different addresses,
different to their "normal" email address. After setting (and
validating) an address it is used with 'subscribe <list>' and this
mail address is stored in the <list> - separately from your personal
data. This way it is possible to subscribe to each mailing list
with another mail address.
BUT: Keep in mind that the Nemesis mailing lists are closed lists:
Only subscribed addresses are allowed to post on the list!
Although these mailing lists are managed from within Nemesis and
therefore the subscribed mail addresses are stored in the MudLib,
the addresses are kept away from all players and wizards accept
Archwizards (see 'help admin').
